Trial recording
Before you record one-time events, you may
want to make a trial recording to make sure that
the camera is working correctly.
No compensation for contents of
the recording
Contents of the recording cannot be compensated
for if recording or playback is not possible due
to a malfunction of your camera or recording
media, etc.
Back up recommendation
To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always
copy (back up) data to a disk.
Notes on image data compatibility
This camera conforms with the Design rule
for Camera File system universal standard
established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics
and Information Technology Industries
Association).
Playback of images recorded with your camera
on other equipment and playback of images
recorded or edited with other equipment on
your camera are not guaranteed.
Precaution on copyright
Television programs, films, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may be
contrary to the provision of the copyright laws.
Do not shake or strike the camera
In addition to malfunctions and inability to
record images, this may render the “Memory
Stick Duo” unusable or image data breakdown,
damage or loss may occur.
LCD screen, LCD finder (only
models with an LCD finder) and lens
The LCD screen and the LCD finder are
manufactured using extremely high-precision
technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are
operational for effective use. However, there
may be some tiny black points and/or bright
points (white, red, blue or green in color) that
constantly appear on the LCD screen and the
LCD finder. These points are normal in the
manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
Be careful when placing the camera near
a window or outdoors. Exposing the LCD
screen, the finder or the lens to direct sunlight
for long periods may cause malfunctions.
Do not press the LCD screen hardly. The
screen may be uneven and that may cause a
malfunction.
Images may be trailed on the LCD screen in a
cold location. This is not a malfunction.
The power zoom lens
This camera is equipped with a power zoom lens.
Be careful not to bump the lens, and be careful
not to apply force to it.
Lens cover
The lens cover of this camera opens and closes
automatically when the camera is turned on and
off. Be careful not to pinch your finger when the
lens cover opens and closes. Also, do not attempt
to forcibly open the lens cover, as this may cause
malfunction.
Clean the flash surface before use
The heat of flash emission may cause dirt on the
flash surface to become discolored or to stick to
the flash surface, resulting in insufficient light
emission.
Do not get the camera wet
When taking pictures outdoors in the rain or
under similar conditions, be careful not to get
the camera wet. Water entering the inside of
the camera may cause malfunctions which in
some cases may not be repairable. If moisture
condensation occurs, see page 116 and follow
the instructions on how to remove it before using
the camera.
Do not expose the camera to sand
or dust
Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations
may cause malfunction.

generates strong radio waves or emits radiation,
or a location with a strong magnetic field. The
camera may not be able to record or play back
properly.
